lyrics

YOUNG GUNSLINGER

The young gunslinger practices his move
In front of the mirror lookin’ pretty smooth.
Go shoot the cans down by the lake.
You’re gonna show you’re no mistake.
Ridin’ range for Mr Relf
No way to make a name for yourself.
One of these days you’ll find the groove,
And then you’ll find some thing to prove.

Young Gunslinger…
Itchy trigger finger.

This boy goes down to the town…
Let’s follow him down.

First thing he does is check the Post Office wall.
His second stop is the Christmas Ball.
Next thing ya know he’s in a fight.
(Don’t have to ask who’s wrong or right.)
He called the local boy outside…
Two shots rang out and
One boy died.
Hey hey hey.
He rode away.
Young Gunslinger.

The sheriff organized a posse and they set right out on his trail.
Woah yeah!
But our hero shook ‘em as he took ‘em over hill and dale.
When the night had ended he had blended into the mountains there.
He was on his way to being somebody the world wouldn’t dare…
W’all right.
Young Gunslinger.
Young Gunslinger.
Young Gunslinger.
Itchy trigger finger…

The young gunslinger practices his move
In front of the mirror he sure looks smooth.
One of these days he’ll find his groove.
And then he’ll find some thing to prove.
